5:31 |
If I offer testimony about myself, my testimony is not true. |
5:32 |
There is another who offers testimony about me, and I know that the testimony which he offers about me is true. |
5:33 |
You sent to John, and he offered testimony to the truth. |
5:34 |
But I do not accept testimony from man. Instead, I say these things, so that you may be saved. |
5:35 |
He was a burning and shining light. So you were willing, at the time, to exult in his light. |
5:36 |
But I hold a greater testimony than that of John. For the works which the Father has given to me, so that I may complete them, these works themselves that I do, offer testimony about me: that the Father has sent me. |
5:37 |
And the Father who has sent me has himself offered testimony about me. And you have never heard his voice, nor have you beheld his appearance. |
5:38 |
And you do not have his word abiding in you. For the one whom he sent, the same you would not believe. |
5:39 |
Study the Scriptures. For you think that in them you have eternal life. And yet they also offer testimony about me. |
5:40 |
And you are not willing to come to me, so that you may have life. |
5:41 |
I do not accept glory from men. |
5:42 |
But I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you. |
5:43 |
I have come in the name of my Father, and you do not accept me. If another will arrive in his own name, him you will accept. |
5:44 |
How are you able to believe, you who accept glory from one another and yet do not seek the glory that is from God alone? |
5:45 |
Do not consider that I might accuse you with the Father. There is one who accuses you, Moses, in whom you hope. |
5:46 |
For if you were believing in Moses, perhaps you would believe in me also. For he wrote about me. |
5:47 |
But if you do not believe by his writings, how will you believe by my words?” |
